Portrait of armand louis le boulanger, marquis d’acqueville. Dressed in a dark blue coat, bluish gray breeches, and a pale yellow waistcoat with poppy design, the marquis d’acqueville presents himself as a fashionable young aristocrat. The bust sculpture of a classical figure, the rolled-up musical score, and the quill pen in the inkwell suggest that he wished to be seen as a man of letters. The numbers “23 7 1791” on the letter in the sitter’s hand most likely indicate the date when the work was painted. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: between circa 1791 and circa 1796. Dimensions: height: 140.8 cm (55.4 in) ; width: 111.8 cm (44 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Blanton Museum of Art. Aimee Duvivier - Armand Louis Le Boulanger, Marquis d’Acqueville
